Security Analysts.
3rd line infra engineers, with good cloud experience (lots of good CVs but 1st interview exposes weaknesses, lies and bulltulip).
Intelligence is the biggest problem. Smart people can learn anything, but there are very few smart people looking for work (or the recruiters we use cannot find them).

Recruiters are the problem, most likely. How detailed is the job spec you gave them? Most of their initial sift will be on keywords, nothing else. Tech architects will have the hardware skill set. for example, but you will never see them.
40k is a lot especially if you waste them for a private school. I said waste because the biggest idiots I have had to deal with in my life they all had one thing in common: they went to private schools. Absolute dorks with 0 street smarts.

You could also add that being a critical area they'd be decently funded, pretty static/forecastable workload and have enough perms in. Not like projects that flex and can be cancelled/ramped up as the budget dictates so having a level of fluidity that lends itself to contractors.
